What if you could go online, get a solar quote in under a minute, and bypass door knocking sales reps? That's the promise of Project Solar, a Utah-based startup with over $23 M in Series A funding, that's changing the way residential solar is sold. 

Founders Matthew Smith and Trevor Hiltbrand are disrupting the solar market with a direct-to-consumer model that eliminates the middleman, offering transparency and simplicity. Leveraging their deep e-commerce expertise and entrepreneurial backgrounds, they created a platform that empowers homeowners with clear, low pricing and a streamlined process. Their journey has been defined by significant early success, even acquisition offers, and almost immediately finding the coveted \u201cproduct-market fit\u201d, all while maintaining a rabid focus on customer experience. 

It\u2019s rare that I think someone is truly, actually, changing the way we do things - Project Solar is one of those rare finds.

Expect to learn:

• How Project Solar\u2019s quoting tool delivers accurate solar quotes in under a minute.
• Why Project Solar\u2019s focus on simplicity and transparency is reducing the inflated costs commonly found in traditional solar sales.
• What regulatory efforts are needed in addressing the \u201cbad actors\u201d in the current market
• Where hiring the right team fits into Project Solar's long-term success in saving customers $42M and counting.
• When the founders realized the need to refine their business model to meet the changing financing needs of their customers.
